Is Trevor Rosenthal now pigeonholed as a reliever?
Bernie Miklasz had an interesting article today discussing the possibility of the Cardinals trading for Cliff Lee (something that I already discussed here). While an interesting analysis and one that reached the same conclusion as I did (we don't need Lee), what really caught my eye was his discussion of the 2014 starting pitching logjam.
Here's what Bernie had to say...
Matt Harvey loses no-hitter on infield single
At least the New York Mets never fail to entertain. Mets starter Matt Harvey had a no-hitter going through the 6th, but in the 7th inning with no outs, Harvey needed a bit of help from his teammates, which he didn’t get. After Harvey fielded Jason Heyword’s slow roller, he flicked the ball to…..no one, as Lucas Duda, who is making his second start of the season at 1B, failed...
MLB News: Lonnie Chisenhall promoted to Cleveland
Right on cue, the Cleveland Indians announced that third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall has been promoted from Triple-A Columbus.
The team’s Opening Day starter at the hot corner, Chisenhall was demoted to the Clippers back on May 13th after a sluggish start to the season. But all evening on Monday, there was rampant speculation that he would be on his way back to Cleveland.
First...
Brian Cashman Finds Hitting Coach Kevin Long’s Comment About Mark Teixeira’s Wrist ‘Alarming’
Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long said what other people were thinking on Saturday. General manager Brian Cashman would prefer if he hadn’t.
Long said Saturday that he wasn’t sure Mark Teixeira’s wrist “has been right” since the slugger came off the disabled list on May 31. That drew the ire of Cashman, who didn’t like that his hitting coach came out and said such to a...

Braves Gattis Disabled Hurt Monday Night Against Mets
Atlanta Braves rookie slugger Evan Gattis has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique strain. Gattis sustained the injury on a check swing in the seventh inning Monday night against the Mets. Tuesday morning Gattis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “It just grabbed me on my right side. I didn’t think I could hit again. Catching, I was loose, warming, and...

Fifth-grader's graduation speech about Dodgers
Tweet The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants have one of the most storied rivalries in baseball. There’s no doubt that there is genuine disdain for one another from both parties. A fifth grader named Casey that lives in San Francisco has the unwelcomed task of being a Dodgers fan in that city. [...]
Bus of Twins' minor-league affiliate involved in fatal crash
The bus of a Minnesota Twins minor-league affiliate was involved in a fatal crash early Tuesday morning in Florida, according to Jacksonville.com.
The bus, which was taking players from Fort Myers, Fla., to Elizabethton, Tenn., collided with a car driving the wrong way on the interstate in Jacksonville. Both vehicles swerved to avoid the collision, according to the report, but the...

Three Thoughts on One Vernon Wells
It could have worked out so perfectly. The Yankees’ acquisition of Vernon Wells appeared to be unwise at the time, but they’d be looking to him as a backup, who needed only to fake it as a starter while Curtis Granderson was hurt. Pretty bad gamble, sure, but we’re given only one reality, and when Granderson debuted on May 14, Wells had an .875 OPS. It was up in four-digit...
Superman Will Venable Lays Out For A Game Saving Web Gem
The San Diego Padres have their own “Man of Steel” in outfielder Will Venable. The disguised super-hero made a game saving catch in the 12th inning laying flat out to complete the web gem. Venable proved this hard hit drive would not be his kryptonite reeling it in for the out.
The post Superman Will Venable Lays Out For A Game Saving Web Gem appeared first on Baseball Hot Corner.
Detroit Tigers’ Max Scherzer Meets Bo Derek At Perfect 10
Max Scherzer came to the Detroit Tigers in an off-season trade after the 2009 season that was very controversial. Many Detroit partisans were very upset to see fan favorite Curtis Granderson leave in the deal not to mention pitcher Edwin Jackson who had just made the AL All-Star team in his solid debut season in Detroit. There was plenty of acrimony among chat rooms, talk radio,...
Tigers' Max Scherzer off to historic start
Max Scherzer racked up 10 strikeouts on the way to earning his major league leading 10th win of the season, as the Detroit Tigers took the first game of their three-game series with the visiting Orioles, 5-1 on Monday night. With the win, Detroit managed to extend their lead in the American League Central to five games over the second-place Kansas City
Yankees rumors: Active trade deadline likely for New York
The New York Yankees had to get active on the trade and free
agent markets earlier than expected this season, as spring training injuries
caused the team to make multiple transactions before the regular season even
began. General manager Brian Cashman told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that he doesn’t
expect that level of busyness to change with the summer trade season approaching...

Jim Leyland cracks joke about booze
Tigers skipper Jim Leyland made a joke about his affinity for certain alcoholic beverages while praising Orioles third baseman Manny Machado.
Royals and Padres need to Deal
by John Viril—
The Kansas City Royals and San Diego Padres are mirror images of each other. Kansas City stands 34-34 while the Padres are a half-game better at 35-34. Yet, they have achieved their success by completely different means. The Royals have just pulled back to .500 by preventing enough runs to keep an anemic offense afloat. Meanwhile, the Padres position players have...
Why is Andrelton Simmons hitting leadoff?
Heading into the season, there was much hand-wringing over the fact that the Braves would strike out at an alarmingly brisk pace. So far, they have, racking up 615 Ks, good enough for second most in baseball, behind only the Astros. The flip side of that coin, however, is that they’ve hit 91 home runs, also good for second most in baseball, behind the Orioles. The Braves have ridden...
